BERLIN, May 81 Pending the
issue of the Cabinet crisis at
Paris, official opiuion here maintains
circumspect silence. The North
German Gszstte refrains from giving
more than mssgre dispatches concern
ing the developments in f. ance. A
frankexpression.of official hopes would
save the effect Of strengthening Gen.
BoulsDger's party and weakening the
opportunities, who ara working to
Gust him. The government receives
full sdvices respecting every phase of
the ministerial negotiations at the
Elysee. The latest dispatches indicate
tnst B lulanger's position is unshsk en-,
and that a Rouvier-De Frsycinet Min
istry is likely to be formed, which will
adopt the Boulauger gospel OF re-
vsnche, a I'D plans to attack Germany.
Whatever may be the character of the
next French Ministry, the crisis has
strengthened the war party in Ger.
many and the war spirit of the people.
THE RIVER RECURRING CHANGES
OF the French Government recall for
chilly Prince Bismarck g argument dur
ing the septennste debate, that the in
ternal instability OF France was a
chronic danger 10 Germany, az any
day might bring change OF Ministry,
which would precip tate war. The
Berlin Pos, the Kreus Zeitunq and
others papers are we'll up on this
theme, urging the completion OF the
war propositions on the ground that
the army must be ready for
the wont as the coming Min
istry, conforming to Boulauger
as, dictator, may mean Immediate
war. II VI. Rouvier succeeds in form
inga Ministry, all the prospects are
that Gen. Boulangef's ascendsncy will
be greater than if either M. De Frey
cinet or M. ClemenceRu were Premier.
The view entertained in official circles
here is that with M. Rouvisr Prime
Minister, Gan. Boulsnger would abso.
lutely dictate events and render the
maintenance OF
PACIFIC RELATIONS EXCEEDINGLY Dr.
FICULT.
Public interest in the result OF the
French ministerial crisis is intense,
though undemonstrstive. The French
press publish fantastic reports Of de-
moustrations against Gen. Boulanger,
alleged to have occurred at Inter der
Linden, but the reports have no basis
of truth. Boulanger's name is in
everybody's mouth, his photograph is
displayed everywhere and his figure
in the panoptlcon wax works is the
center of observation; but Berlin pre-
serves a perfect confidence in the
ability of the army to dispose of Bou-
LANCER and France when the time
comes, aud has no impulse toward
vain display of anti-French feelings.
A ministerial bill sent to the
Bundesrath today contsmplates an
important step toward the reform of
the
ADMINISTRATION OF ALsACR.LoRRAINE.
1t affairs the present system of appoint
ing burgomasters, and aboliehes the
regulations requiring burgomasters to
be chosen from the Communal Coun.
Gil. 1t provides also that Burgoma5.
ters and deputy burgomasters shall
henceforth become salsried officials of
the government, with allowances fixed
by the district presidents.

Emperor William will forego The
yearly meeting with the Emperor of
Austria, Prince Bismarck will hold a
conference with Count Kslnoky at
Franzenbad. A visit of Emperor
Francis Joseph to the Kaiser, under
consideration, was decided against as
unless
II would have been an obvious de-
claration that the triple alliance was
dc fiuitely ruptured. Sincs the Moth
German Gazette exposures respectful
Count Andrassay's agreement with
Russia, the friendship between Prince
Bismarck and Count Kalnoky has be-
come stronger. Herr Won Tlsza's ad-
mission before the Lower House of
the Hungarian Diet today that the
agreement was fact, has weakened
Count Andrassay's hold on the Mag
var members aud tends to strengthen
the position of Count Kalnoky. Among
the subjects OF the Franzenbad con-
ierences, it is reported, will be the
rel stions between the Vatican and the
Italian government. Mgr. Gslimberti,
since entering upon the duties of
Papal Nuncio at Vienna, has sounded
Count Kslnoky on the question Of
supporting the Vatican's claims. To
obtain Rome as Papal temporily ia
the indispensable basis of the Pope's
recognition of the Kingdom Of Italy.
Prince Bismarck has given assur.
